I want to thank Marie Leotta for her response to my essay. I also didn’t like Bill Clinton and didn’t vote for him for his second term. NAFTA is a disgrace.

But I wish you had answered my contention that the leaders of the Republican Party are hypocritical lunatics. While claiming to be for limited government, they increase the size of government to keep women from getting contraception and abortions.

But to answer your allegation that “Everything that’s wrong with America today is directly attributed to the lazy, greedy wants…etc.” For 43 years I have paid for my Social Security and Medicare. When I’ve made a lot of money I’ve paid lots of taxes. So to criticize Democrats or me as lazy or greedy is totally unfair and wrong. But, if you decide you want to talk about issues instead of calling me names, call into WMRW, 496-4951, on Wednesday mornings at 7 a.m. I do a call-in show, “News From the Left.” I talk about Beethoven and news stories from my perspective as a socialist. I would love to hear from you.
